Orlando City got knocked out by New York, so I'm not doing so well. I took my dad to the game. I drove six hours in 24 hour period for this game. But Christian, you live two blocks away from the stadium. I know. It was a last minute decision and shit. It was a busy weekend, but great. Grateful. to have friends and family.

Christian: 1:17

I got back

Jerrell: 1:18

I saw the admin for our soccer league too. I was just walking in a crowd of people, and George was there, and he was just like, hey. I was like,

Jerrell: 1:38

Oh, nice.

Christian: 1:39

Learning how to use a line bike.

Jerrell: 1:41

A line bike or a scooter?

Jerrell: 2:00

Sure caught me off guard too

Christian: 2:03

But it was fun, it was solid.

Jerrell: 2:04

so

Christian: 2:51

Yeah, that shit was crazy. I, I could've sworn it was like, Oh, I'm waiting for that awkward moment where it goes from like your headset to the car Bluetooth. I thought that's when it clicked and it was like, Oh, he's in a car with Susie. And alas,

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 3:06

most of the time that even, that's why even when someone doesn't say hey, I was like, Oh, this person's here, they say hey, so

Christian: 3:14

that's on me. That's on me.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 3:15

total silence, I was just kinda but, Let's share it with Helsinki, I mighta, nah, it's cool, it's fine that, we'll save that for the Patreon, so tell Jarell off camera actually so So yeah shout out to mortification, but my thanksgiving to answer the question three minutes later was good It was not low key because latino Thanksgivings yeah, so

Christian: 3:38

Latino y.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 3:39

Yeah, very So but good stuff so just happy to

Jerrell: 3:44

Awesome. If you guys don't mind I'll run through the match day 13 results And if somebody wants to take over match day 14, that'd be great And then we'll dive into it. Yeah Okay, so match day 13 believe it or not. That was Saturday and We had a tie between Brighton and Southampton Brentford Beat the wheels off the foxes, 4 1. Crystal Palace and Newcastle draw. Nottingham Forest and Ipswich. Nottingham takes the win there, 1 0. The wolves Lose to the cherries two, four West ham versus Arsenal was a huge shootout in the first half. Arsenal wins that one, five, two Chelsea and Villa Chelsea dominated Villa three, zero Manchester United beat Everton four, zero Manchester United was looking really good that week. The Spurs and Fulham tie because typical Spurs and Liverpool beat Manchester City two, zero, which was surprised by that result. Do you want to catch the viewers up on match day 14? Who wants to take that one?

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 4:45

Oh, you, I wasn't looking at the screen. Cool. Match day

Jerrell: 4:48

Yeah, there you go.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 4:49

So we had Ipswich Sound lose to Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace hits four points out of nowhere over the short week. Foxes they beat West Ham three to one. with a huge result over Wolves for nothing. Newcastle United and Liverpool and probably what, it was a weird score, one of the weirdest scorelines of the week ends up three, three tied with the late Fabian Shaar equalizer. Man City, Nottingham, Forest ends in a 3 0 result as Man City gets their first dub in about 8 games if I'm not mistaken. Southampton gets a red, loses to Chelsea comprehensively 1 5. Arsenal and Manchester United ends up in a 2 0 off of two Arsenal corners. Aston Villa, Brentford ends in a 3 1 result for the Villains. Fulham, Bryan, and Hove Albion ends 3 1 as Fulham, two shots on goal, gets three goals. And then Byrne, Mith, and Spurs end up in a 1 0 result because they said fuck Dro. And that was match day

Jerrell: 5:44

Yeah, basically. And in all that chaos, who won the Pick'ems for the football pelvis?

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 5:52

As a whole so we rounded up both Christian won a tiebreaker for the first week first match day. And then I won the second day. Something light for me.

Jerrell: 6:02

you two.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 6:03

we decided to Frankenstein the results together. And last place cumulatively was you, Jerrel. How does that

Jerrell: 6:09

Yeah. Oh,

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 6:10

oh

Jerrell: 6:10

Yeah, you win some, you lose some.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 6:13

Get the fuck out of here. He's devastated. He's devastated. He called me crying last night. So it was like, I really need Spurs to do something for me.

Jerrell: 6:20

But I get, but I refuse to believe in them. I

Christian: 6:23

It's literally slowly falling apart.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 6:25

Yeah, so Yeah, that's the way we're gonna do it so I can lead off with winners losers and then we'll bring it around town so my winner for the week, is gonna be kevin. I'm fucking up your name shad seha

Jerrell: 6:39

pronounced De Bruyne er.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 6:43

Nah, fuck that guy belgiums are weird. Just kidding. I love belgium. Listen to the pod.

Christian: 6:47

Love your freets.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 6:48

You your freets are special, but he helped Brownford remain undefeated in their first match. In matchday 13, he got a hat trick at the G tech against the Fox is his first senior hat trick as a professional. So he was my winner of the week. He was the first shout. I wanted to throw for a winner of the week because it was a special moment for him.

Jerrell: 7:06

For sure.

Christian: 7:07

Alright, guess it's my turn. I thought we were going to do two at the same time. I

Jerrell: 7:09

Yeah, didn't you hear it? I'm last. It is your turn. Nice.

Christian: 7:15

my winner of the week is going, of match day 13. It's going to be Chris Wood. Chris Wood has scored, though 49th minute penalty to putting on him on of Ipswich. But it's not necessarily the game itself. Heh heh. It's not necessarily the game itself. It's going to be cause Chris Wood actually became one of only two players to be the top. Premier league score for two different clubs. So Chris was actually the top scorer for none of them for us and Burnley. So that's a cool, fun fact. So shout out to Chris with the only other person would be Alan Shear, who would the same thing for the black burn rovers and new castle.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 7:52

Wow, Christian with the knowledge darts Thank you, sir

Jerrell: 7:55

Yeah, Straight bullseyes. But

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 7:58

Jerome Cliver,

Jerrell: 8:01

Kluvert.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 8:02

yeah

Jerrell: 8:03

First player to even fucking hit a hat trick off penalties alone. I thought that would have been a thing already, but Apparently it's not so incredible, game watching that I thought Vermin threw definitely onto something a lot of penalties the wolves, wolves are left wondering what happened. I've Yeah, the Wanderers. But yeah, Justin Colbert with his hat trick on the penalty spot. Impressive.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 8:26

so

Jerrell: 8:26

Shoutout to him.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 8:26

four other cases where that happened, but he's the first to convert all three. Evan Nielsen actually gained all,

Jerrell: 8:32

He stands alone at the top,

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 8:34

he earned every hat trick. Every penalty for Bermuth. And they said, Nope Clive is taking all of them, but he hit all of them. They went for two. So shout

Christian: 8:41

one was so soft. I understand why it was a penalty, but it's not like he intentionally tried to kick the player, he just didn't see him and he was just following his foot through the motion and it just contacted the back of the other player.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 8:54

And one

Christian: 8:55

Yeah. Pretty much.

Jerrell: 8:56

basically. Yeah.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 8:57

Ah, throw it up.

Christian: 8:59

The last one was definitely full on pen.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 9:01

You best believe though that if I get three pens in one game, I'm going to get a red right after. Nah. Nah, there's no way. Nah,

Jerrell: 9:08

I'm leaving.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 9:09

You better look the fucking other way on the last one. I don't give a fuck who I hit. My second winner. Drell took one of them, but my second winner actually was gonna be Crystal Palace. They were able to get four points this week. Got a wonky result against Newcastle. They probably deserved to win that game. Gay. He had a UN goal, Newcastle. They had no expected goals in that game. They got on goal and ended up tying one, one Daniel Munoz. He had a late header. After he had a couple other chances, it looked on goal. He was able to equalize late for them. And then they went out and got a big win against if switch town this week's results so they are able to get four points That's big for them for a team that's been struggling in the relegation zone a lot this season my second winner is gonna be crystal palace just because go seagulls

Jerrell: 9:49

Dolphinarium. Go ahead, Christian. Who's your second winner?

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 9:54

you gotta stop you man just out of nowhere

Christian: 9:56

My second

Jerrell: 9:57

It's history.

Christian: 9:58

to be Nicholas Jovert, also known as the French set piece coach for Arsenal because God like all the memes that came out within the last 24 hours have been fucking perfect. Where it's just Arsenal, would you rather have a pen or would you rather have a Corner and just Oh, what's it? We'll take the corner actually.

Jerrell: 10:16

Take the corner, please.

Christian: 10:17

not only that his Twitter picture handle picture is a corner kick the corner flag with the little.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 10:25

Oh man who knows his brand

Christian: 10:26

Yeah.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 10:28

Yeah

Christian: 10:30

but yeah, that's my winner for match day 14.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 10:33

I've seen a bunch of articles pop up about just like they need to, he, whatever they're paying him is not enough. So yeah, definitely a good moment. I've never seen

Jerrell: 10:40

Just keep doing it.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 10:40

twerk dingle from Saliba. So that was nice. So

Jerrell: 10:44

My second winner is Everton because even though they got beat down bad by Man United, they still came back to beat the Wolves 4 0. So they don't let the scoreboard affect them. So shout out to Everton. Matchday 14 coming back and making sure they got three points in Super Week.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 11:02

said the comeback toffees. I love it.

Jerrell: 11:04

Yeah, basically

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 11:05

my, My loser for the week. One of my losers is going to be, it's going to be Newcastle. Newcastle hapless performance against Crystal Palace that ended up in that one, one result as I just touched on. And then they finally scored three goals in a game, but then their defense doesn't hold up and they lose another game. Three, three, five inch. I got a late equalizer to nullify Mo Salah. He got a brace in that fixture, but Newcastle United, just some weird results this week. So they're going to be my other loser just because. Between the book. I just bad vibes not for me. I'm out. So

Jerrell: 11:34

yeah,

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 11:36

how about you Christian?

Christian: 11:37

Alright, my loser is going to be me. Because

Jerrell: 11:40

no,

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 11:40

Loser

Jerrell: 11:41

too

Christian: 11:42

Because all I want is for Ipswitch to get some dubs. And I am sacrificing my pick'ems. Even though when I don't believe, I'm just like, Nah, this is the one. This is the one where Ipswitch is

Jerrell: 11:52

much hate,

Christian: 11:53

they don't. Ah. So I'ma make myself the loser just because I'm living off Hopium here. And I just want to track their goal.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 12:01

We all have catfish as it looks like. Mine's is West Ham, yours is Ipswich's, and Jerell's is Spurs. Yeah,

Jerrell: 12:09

yeah,

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 12:09

that's pretty fun. We're, I think we've all cried wolf about just, like, why do they keep hurting me? And then we go back to them after a positive result.

Jerrell: 12:15

Keep trying to trust them

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 12:17

we

Jerrell: 12:17

my, my loser,

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 12:18

want to

Jerrell: 12:18

my first loser is going to be the wolves, they conceded eight goals in two games, and especially after it looked like they were on the up and up, to just, You know fall flat on their face. I mean they lost to Everton Which is a team that they should be able to compete with and they shouldn't get blinked by them And then you know, they drop to the cherries. They're not overly competitive teams. They're not like strong teams. It's Somewhere I felt like the wolves could have taken the draw. At least, maybe two, but They conceded eight goals and they only scored two for themselves. That's a really tough break for them this week. Oh

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 12:57

So we're synergizing our picks because my loser is going to be Wolves center back, Greg Dawson. Cause he had two own goals actually. It was late. The game was like two Oh, and then he had too late. So it probably didn't change the result too much, but yeah, just tough run of games because all things that you take out those own goals and those pens, and they're probably more competitive games, but wolves, they had a good patch of form and then they just fucked it this week.

Jerrell: 13:21

Yeah,

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 13:21

hopefully you can get back get everything back in order heading into the weekend. They have a fixture against West Ham. So my catfish. So good luck.

Christian: 13:29

And then for my second loser, it's going to actually be new man, United Ruben Amorim. Because,

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 13:38

Christian will never love a Manchester United coach. Carry

Jerrell: 13:41

That's tough, you just got there! He wasn't even there! That's

Christian: 13:51

Arsenal scored 5 1 against his former club, Sporting, And then two games later, we scored two more goals. So we just, he just gave up seven, seven goals. And I'm already in coach team, gave up seven goals blah, blah, blah, Arsenal.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 14:07

be fair not hey, it's your loser, but he didn't coach He didn't coach the champions league fixture Christian math is I want to quote that and be like

Jerrell: 14:17

that's crazy.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 14:18

is you know, it's like nah, he lived he coached there once so but okay

Christian: 14:21

Once

Jerrell: 14:22

It makes sense.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 14:23

He didn't

Jerrell: 14:24

Maybe three weeks ago.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 14:25

a little while ago, dude. He didn't coach that game

Christian: 14:28

Oh, I know he didn't coach that game.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 14:29

Oh, okay. Okay. My fault.

Christian: 14:31

Yeah

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 14:31

right. Yeah. I'm losers for, I'm a loser for for even a moment. I'm sorry about that. King. All right, girl.

Jerrell: 14:37

Numbers don't lie. And another team that conceded eight goals in two games, West Ham.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 14:42

No, not my baby, please.

Jerrell: 14:45

I'm sorry, I gotta do it. West Ham also conceding eight goals. And honestly, I don't even think those games weren't close. You can argue maybe the Wolves could have had a more competitive game, but West Ham was, were not in any of these games. They scored three total and then conceded eight. Two.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 15:03

had some

Jerrell: 15:03

Arsenal, which is understandable, and then Leicester City, they can see 3 2, which, for my thing, I didn't think that would, I thought Leicester, I thought it would at least be a draw.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 15:13

to my world so They got the van nestler effect as the foxes. He you know became their coach. So they got the little boost there, but You know It's okay. I still love you. Us him. And yeah, so those are this week's double packed winners and losers for the week. So

Jerrell: 15:29

Super Week continues into Saturday, because whatever.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 15:32

Fuck it get your piglins, right? So A lot of games, we won't touch on all of them. Were there any

Jerrell: 15:40

Tons of games.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 15:41

you guys wanted to highlight outside of that or?

Christian: 15:46

I'm not saying the games themselves, but just I'm just looking at the overall table Because the most recent game was what a couple hours ago the cherries versus Tottenham Yeah That game I'm surprised seeing Tottenham halfway through the table They're sitting at 10th just cherries are just above them with one

Jerrell: 16:04

I'm done with Tottenham, I swear to God.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 16:07

don't believe

Christian: 16:07

Tottenham?

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 16:08

I don't believe you.

Jerrell: 16:09

That's a great question. I don't know, because they can put up good games against good teams, and then they turn around and they want to shit the bed. And maybe we can attribute Bournemouth to just, hey, they're really good at playing good teams, and By extension, I guess I'm calling the Spurs a good team. But it was just bizarro world where like Spurs are like, we could be good teams too with the Cherries just one of them. So I don't know. I don't know what Tom's problem is.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 16:35

really touched on it too last week where they got a four Oh, it was all against the city team. That's obviously not fully city. Not city at its peak,

Christian: 16:41

Not fully there. Yeah

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 16:42

they've shown a standard they can hit they're just no consistency a lot of these teams I think like the lens of You know burn myth or like bryden even who I like was just like, okay Now i'm starting to believe in them and then over the week I think they only got like a point in their fixtures or something like that. So i'm just like spurs to I mean we had expectations for him going into the season. There's class stairs there's pieces their second year under pasta koglu is just like It's not impossible. It's just just what you don't know what you're getting from them week to week. So

Christian: 17:10

Yeah, fuck

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 17:12

Oh Gerald's muted. So i'm not sure what's going on over there, but I mean It's tough. It's tough. But on the flip side is arsenal fans Yeah, I guess we shouldn't expect much from them, even

Christian: 17:23

him.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 17:23

to but not the fog them. We

Christian: 17:25

Fuck him.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 17:26

Christian, how about anything on your side any of the games, caught your eye?

Christian: 17:30

No, I haven't. It was I wasn't able to watch a lot of match day 14 results just because Twerk and Tuesday and Wednesday games are a little tough. I am, I was pretty I remember watching the, what game was it? The Newcastle game last 13. And I saw Isaac go down on the first half with a hip injury. And you can see how Different. They were playing against crystal palace. They only were only able to score one goal against crystal palace, but then they come back down to match day 14 and they scored, I think, four goals. Oh no, they were able to tie against Liverpool. He's I ended up getting a goal and an assist in that game. It's good to see that hip injury, which could do such a quick turnaround time that could, couldn't cause a lot of injuries falling on his hip like that, but shout out to him and Newcastle for Put some brakes on Liverpool.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 18:19

Yeah, Liverpool finally dropping points. Who would have thought? Coming into the fixtures, if you told me one of these games were a 2 0, I probably would have thought it would have been this Liverpool Newcastle game for them. But I saw it like as a 2 1, maybe 2 1, just with how Newcastle's been struggling to score. I know you've highlighted Isak in our conversations and whatnot as someone who's Maybe you can find some joy, but three goals from them against what's been a staunch Liverpool defense was a huge surprise

Christian: 18:42

Yeah.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 18:43

especially coming off of that. Man city game. I know they rotated a little bit more but Yeah, shout newcastle united for getting the result i'm still good they're still my loser for the weekend way because The vibes are fucking weird with them and I don't even know what I don't know what to expect from them anymore I don't like that. I like the devils. I know, I like consistency in my results I like you know A wolf's just struggling or if so struggling a team that's just all over the place. I don't know pineapples. So Yeah

Christian: 19:09

Chelsea's looking terrifying

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 19:11

yeah, what are they drill teller southampton was oh fuck Bro, he's trying to galvanize them, it's the 4d chest, bro not we're struggling with 11 guys. I'm gonna make the sacrifice for y'all. That's a selfish captain if you ask me Oh that's not fair. Come on, man. Probably just left in difficult situations, right? Yeah, Chelsea's been on a burner for sure. They continue just, they look like just goal scoring machines. Mo Salah as well, even

Christian: 19:41

and they're so young too.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 19:43

on another break, getting away with it as well. But that brace he's you're going to pay me one way or another. Cause when he's literally just, the production's insane. Yep. So 21 21

Christian: 20:02

Yeah. Yeah. It's really tough because like you mentioned, like they, they gather up at the far end of the box and rather they're playing defensively, they're playing zone or man on that set piece. Arsenal's set pieces, it's hard to it's hard to defend. If you're playing man, you're going to leave a wide open space somewhere because now you're just trying to like. Guard everybody all the way up to the top. And then someone can just swing around and create a wide open spot for a clear header, where if they're playing zone, and now the defense is just guarding various zones. Once the kick, once the whether it's deck on their cycle, once they pass the ball in, as they're, as they start rushing through, they're just going to be taking people out of the equation. They're just going to be moving people out of the zones and it's just going to cause chaos. And every time, every corner just goes, Pretty close to the goalie, but there's so many bodies there that the goalie can't really do anything about it. So it's a beautiful art that he got there with the set pieces. It's just hard to defend. And so far no one's been able to do it.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 21:00

Yeah, and they played they played their last fixture without gabby Who's usually the recipient of a lot of those heterogies like target man there? So they got the goals one from jerry and timber on a great delivery and then the other one off a ricochet off was to leave his donk Yeah, they continue to do it finding and that's what's important. Not just arsenal, but you have to find different ways to score You I'm not have too much of a line in lieu of having like maybe that top shelf nine that we've talked about and they're getting their goals from all over they're getting it from midfield. They're getting it from you know From their wings and they've been consistently over the last few months as we've as you guys spoke about Getting it from from our defenders as well. So I mean multifaceted a bunch of guys being able to get different types of goals So you love to see it

Christian: 21:38

If switch not hitting anything.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 21:42

Yeah I mean You On average, one of those aren't like the others. So yeah, I think Burn Myth is a great shout, honestly. Because they got, it's not even like they beat Obama to the table. Like we, went over Spurs. And they were able to get another win as well. Over, over Wolves. Wolves who was riding like a couple games without a loss as well. So I'd say Burn Myth. Definitely a surprising one. I was like leaking through and trying not to circle back on palace considering how leaky like how porous they've been I think fulham was a good shout as well. Be able to get a result over bryden and then also able to hold wait for it against spurs, against spurs on the road as well. They were able to get They were able to get a goal and then thomas careney He picked up a red as well and then so they were able to hold off for the last 15 Or so minutes of that game man down on the road So I think fulham was the other one where I was like, I think they had definitely some positive momentum up the table considering I think results last week weren't the best for them as well

Christian: 22:37

I also give a shout out to Aston Villa. So give a shout out to Aston Villa. They've been on a Crappy form they haven't they be they were able to be the bees. Sorry, drill 3 1 match day 14 But looking at the recent form they have the last time they won a game was what back? 1022 so they've actually got an entire.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 22:57

yeah, we'd be talking about West. About Villa, because

Christian: 23:00

Yeah.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 23:00

they went 7 while City went 8,

Christian: 23:03

Yeah

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 23:03

without a win.

Christian: 23:04

And this is something we brought up when we first started this amazing podcast was how is Aston Villa going to perform when the schedule gets super busy? And it's around that time where the schedule is getting really busy. And you can see Aston Villa has been struggling over a month without getting a dub in the premier league. Yeah.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 23:22

Alright, that. Yeah and a lot of even their early results we talked a lot about the John Duran effect and a lot of their super sub goals that they were getting to steal results, I think they'll be fun to watch over the next couple months just to see can they you know, Reattain the previous form they had or what their level is figure figuring it out because maybe you don't see them as like a title Contender or whatnot, but it's can they recreate? And put up a fight for europe, a european spot again like champions league or anything like that or I think at worst you don't you want to finish top six if you're them and try to maintain You That effect but there's a lot of varied game teams this year and a lot a bunch of surprises

Christian: 23:59

Yeah, their schedule. Apart from next week, they got Southampton. That'll be a pretty good boost of confidence there thinking pull two wins in a row out. But after next week, Southampton, they got Leipzig in the gym.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 24:10

them. He just he just jinxed them. Oh god

Christian: 24:13

After the Southampton game, they got the Leipzig in the Champions League, then Forest Man City, Newcastle, Brighton. And the, yeah, so it was just back to back to back, just tough games after the South Hampton game. Hopefully they can pull off a win next week, ride that momentum because they're there, they're yearning for some wins at this point. Yeah.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 24:33

I think i'm good right now. I'm, not gonna lie. I was like freaky force We had a lot of teams that were middling we touched on all

Christian: 24:38

Yeah,

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 24:39

teams that did really well and I mean outside of our southampton listeners who are listening or just oh fuck this guy christian And that surprise results that's coming their way. I feel like we brushed over

Christian: 24:48

not the surprise results. It's a good thing. Salah seems like a humble guy.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 24:55

I was waiting for it. I knew Christian was going to say something when he took that deep breath. The Holland shade stay humbly.

Christian: 25:01

Humble.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 25:02

fun to run up, fun to run up for sure.

Christian: 25:05

I can't wait for that man city arsenal rematch.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 25:08

Speaking of rematches and match days who didn't? Oh no, Christian, you're up for the preview. You're up for the match day 15 preview. What are we looking at?

Christian: 25:17

All right. Let's

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 25:18

Guan! Wine Pond! Wine Pond A Preview!

Christian: 25:23

all right. Match day 15. We got the toffees versus Liverpool. So that's probably going to score another brace in there or something. We got man city versus crystal palace, new castle versus Brentford Aston Villa versus the saints. Man U versus the Tricky Trees. Fulham versus Arsenal. Leicester versus Brighton. Ipswich, Tractor Boys are gonna beat Burnmuth. Come on, Tractor Boys. We got Tottenham versus Chelsea, which should be a pretty good game to watch. And West Ham versus the Wolves. Nah, they do good against good teams apparently, remember?

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 25:57

blow him out.

Christian: 25:57

Yeah

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 25:58

Jerell, do the Spurs need to go right to get a result against Chelsea, you think, Jerell? They're at home. Yeah. They just don't show up. Oh, fuck. Damn. Okay. I'm over here. I saw it. I was like, we don't have to do it. Oh, yeah. I'm just like I have no idea what to expect from it. I'm just wolves are technically on the better run up of form. West Ham, they got no points over their last two match days and I think the previous week they lost as well, right? Wolves are different though, the wolves to that, were winning a little bit, it's I don't know what to, I'm going to go West Ham, I think. And then next week I'm going to be like, guys, they did it again. And then you guys would be here. Just stop going back to them. He's no good for you. I would be like, but I could change. I'm fucked. I'm fucked. You look at Hueming's song and it's just like it's that smile, it's that damn smile You know, you're 13 threes and why so it's a I get it West Ham. It's they did have two wonder goals against Arsenal. We get to really touch on it But they had two fantastic goals that Arsenal went up for nothing Then they scored two and I was just like even though we gave up to a spilt second It's felt spiritually like you're okay with that it was like a spiritual clean sheet because it was like the free kick in the plate the passage of play they had to get those goals are just like so not repl it's not easily replicated that you just have to live with it So shout out five two one more time, but yeah, cool sick. Bless him hurt me again road game. So it's the game we lost last year. Run up to our second place finish. And we're tied up with Chelsea. Currently seven points back of Liverpool. So all these results are important. Liverpool against Everton on the road, which I don't know if Molly Bushell has enough lean in that, in those toffees to get a result, but we'll see.

Christian: 28:03

This seems like one of those weeks That pick ones might fuck us

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 28:08

Versus the last few weeks,

Christian: 28:10

fuck us more.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 28:11

last matchup of the

Christian: 28:12

we had one week where we

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 28:15

I don't know. I don't know about you.

Christian: 28:16

me match day 12 I got six baby

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 28:19

Okay. I was gonna say me and Christian definitely went broke even last week, it's my whole no draw. I don't think I've gotten a draw in six, seven weeks actually looking back on it. I was just like, I don't believe in that shit, bro. That shit's for the birds, bro. But we also have not gotten our Matt, like the match of the day or like the last prediction of the week, right? In a few weeks, we're accumulatively like, Over 9, 12, 15 over the last five weeks. So pickings have been fucking on us.

Christian: 28:44

It's crazy cuz we started pretty fucking match day 1 7 8 6 8 6 6

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 28:56

Join the hive. Join the cult. Gerald's just are there any bees around? Buzz. Speaking of Brentford against Newcastle United, you feeling good about that Gerald? Brett, it's at the G tech. So Brentford undefeated there. He said, easy money. He said, put a house on it. Damn. Damn. Damn. Outside of that. Manchester United versus freaky forest as Amarim tries to prove Christian wrong. They're looking to get things back on track. Lenny Yoto. Didn't they just get a dub?

Christian: 30:07

Match day 13 there 2

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 30:10

yeah. They lost the city. But,

Christian: 30:13

3 in the last 5 games

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 30:16

Dub's a dub, baby! Can't hear you for my three points. Ay, bro, we've lost that home before,

Christian: 30:25

to be fair. I wouldn't say they're on a downturn They just been facing tough teams like their last four games

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 30:31

Nah, fuck that narrative bro.

Christian: 30:32

Newcastle, Arsenal, and Man City. Apart from Misfits, they've played Newcastle, Arsenal, and Man City.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 30:38

Cause let West Ham lose against tough teams or let Wolves lose against tough teams in their ass. I'm rooting for both teams this weekend aren't I? Am I a wolf shit? What the fuck? I don't know. It's tough shit. Yeah, December is just tough with like just the congestion and how many fixtures are run so it'll it'll be a fun week

Christian: 30:59

They got to get some goals. They got to get some goals. They've only they've conceded 16, but they've only scored 16 goals all tournament, which I mean,

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 31:07

bro

Christian: 31:07

for top 10, everybody else in the top 10 has scored above 20 goals.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 31:12

That honestly sound like a Newcastle style

Christian: 31:15

Newcastle 17 and 17.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 31:18

This is the way balance as all things should be I'm about to go watch once upon a time in mexico I don't know if you guys ever watched it, but at the start it's a johnny depp's character It's just yeah, my job I bring balance to things, it's pretty, you know I make sure that things are even and they're eating somewhere. He's oh this food is so so fucking good He's like with the strangers. Hey, can you bring the chef up and the chef comes? He's oh, hey Miyamoto, what's up, whatever and he kills him Because he says it's too good and i'm about things being balanced That was my long diatribe to bring about how I feel about Newcastle and the other team that Christian shouted out Thank you, sir. Freaky force

Christian: 31:57

A quick thing I just realized spots is six positions. Six through 13th are all separated with by three points.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 32:05

Yeah, it's been Yeah, it was funny cause I think last week me and drove just I don't know if they're going to make it into top six. And I was like they're only three points out. And then Manchester United won that first game and then they were pretty much top six and then they dropped again. So it's just, it's weird, and there's only what. 25 more match days to go. 23. I can count somewhere. 24 skipped all of them. So we'll see. And yeah, but next week it'll be fun to do a recap. I'll try to also keep like the difference between each place on the table as well. When I set up kind of the sheet for it, but

Christian: 32:39

That'd be crazy.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 32:41

you won't,

Christian: 32:42

You'll probably end up winning.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 32:45

Drell say he's in a dry spell with the Pickle's, it's wild. All right, cool. But besides that, yeah, back into the ether, any trivia origins that we do, we fully scuttle that I'll never get the satisfaction of the team. I wanted to know, will I?

Christian: 33:01

We can,

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 33:02

He said,

Christian: 33:03

the toffees, I was like, man, these are fucking boring. No, but we can start it off next week. It's been a rough two months of just busy and travel and stuffs, but I'll bring it back up next week.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 33:12

Christian said the hive is now worth it again because of our Helsinki listener. Thank you. Because Christian didn't believe in our other listeners from like LA and Jersey. Apparently shout Hoboken, even though I don't even think that's what you shouted out last week. You just said Jersey in general, but shout

Christian: 33:25

Joy Z.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 33:26

Camden. Sick. I said good things about Kandem last week. Awww. Shout out Newark. It's hard.

Christian: 33:35

I can't do it.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 33:37

shout out Newark. Shout out the boys. was like, we love all our listeners. We just like others more than rest. Just kidding. I love them all a little differently. That's why I treat them all special. So next week we have a match day 15 review. We'll preview match day 16 and we'll do our standings power rankings update. Yeah. Okay. You already know that my cop already. I'm just like the margins are so thin guys. It's an impossible task. So I'm I'm playing the long game, baby. So

Christian: 34:12

Send us some money.

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 34:14

no glaze me. Don't tell me how it can be better. Just glaze me. Glazing season. Hey, papi. All right. Thanks for listening guys.

Christian: 34:26

will_11_12-05-2024_180838: 34:27

Christian did that.
